Cohen died Nov. 7 at age 82, and the world came together to mourn for him in song and text. Paris Match’s website contains stories on fans’ goodbyes as well as the tribute delivered by Cohen’s son, Adam.

Their top 10 list of his best cinematic songs includes Everybody Knows in Adam Egoyan’s Exotica, The Stranger Song is Robert Altman’s John McCabe, and, naturally, Hallelujah, in Zack Snyder’s The Watchmen.

Montreal and Paris Match are not alone. From Greece to the United Kingdom to Israel, the death of the poet-singer-songwriter has been front-page news. The Montreal Gazette’s Andy Riga compiled front pages from around the globe that illustrate how deeply Cohen’s loss will be felt.
